STREETCAR .... IS STILL GOING ON! IT STARTED AT NOON... BUT DOZENS OF PEOPLE ARE LINED UP .... WANTING A CHANCE TO PURSUADE THIS NEW CITY COUNCIL... TO KEEP THE STREET CAR PROJECT RUNNING! WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON... IS LEADING THE WAY... LIVE OUTSIDE CITY HALL... This first full day of the new Cranley administration started with streetcar spending and the very public push to pause the project. (John Cranley) ("Logistically, it could take a day or two for the work to literally stop, but I expect it all to happen this ("Logistically, it could take a day or two for the work to literally stop, but I expect it all to happen this week.") During today's discussion, those on both sides of the Streetcar struggle learned that the actual daily spending is double what was thought. Project Executive John Deatrick pegs it at $100,000 a day. Over a month, that's $3 million instead of $1.5 million. The testy start of the Cranley-created Streetcar Committee was on full public display. (Wendell Young) ("What I see right now is simply someone taking an opportunity to hold this Council hostage") (John Cranley) ("Everyone on this Council knows we're going to be voting on ordinances to suspend the Streetcar. It's clear") What's not completely clear is whether it will cost a lot more to cancel than complete, a lot less or if it's a wash. In a pause- equals-death environment, there's urgency about getting to a consensus on accurate numbers. (Ryan Messer - We Believe Cincinnati) ("Just take 36, 48-hours, whatever it takes to get a company in here to do an independent number and then just make a fact-based decision.") Eleven ordinances have been trotted out to reverse money appropriated for streetcar spending. Utility work, the contract with CAF, consulting costs, the agreement with construction companies. Tonight, attorney Paul DeMarco is questioning whether streetcar opponent Chris Smitherman has a conflict of interest and should be at least temporarily prohibited from voting on the ordinances. It's bare knuckle time in the Streetcar bout.
